Before he played the ball toward the net is performance at the moment was not bad, the ball nearly entered the net and it  was not the goalkeeper that saved the ball from not entering,  it was saved by one of the opponent's player. Ronaldo's club are not looking up to him to increase the performance of the club.

Real Madrid has a one year contract offer to everyone who gets too old, just to make sure that they do not get screwed from the talent level dropping significantly, and they would only be holding a bad contract for one year max, and Ronaldo didn't accepted that. He wanted a contract that was a longer one, multiple years and Perez said that was just not possible and that is why he was sold.

Nowadays Ronaldo could get paid more with multiple seasons just like he asked, but as we can see no other team in any good UCL level ever wants to get him. That alone shows how bad he got, if he was still good, some good team would have offered him a job.

Al-Shabab end 19th match of the SPL with loss from the guest team Al Adalh, although included in one of the worst performance teams in the Saudi Professional League did not make Al Adalh lose confident.

Al-Hilal will host the guest team Al-Fateh today in the Saudi Professional League continue match. The two teams are currently involved in the rivalry in positions five and six,  Al-Hilal has a higher chance of winning today, the offer of the odds is @1.44

On social media recently. I saw one of Ronaldo's goals that he did not score, the important thing is not that he did not score. I really laughed at this scene because the goalkeeper was jumping late as if he was in a console game. Ronaldo is really among the very low-level football players. I don't know, I don't think that the quality of the league will increase by bringing in players from outside. In order to gain a certain infrastructure, the infrastructure experience of sports clubs in Europe is at a very high level. If they invest in infrastructure instead of famous players, maybe they will reveal their own stars.

Al Hilal Saudi vs Al Fatah match will be a very exciting game.  Both the teams are very strong and it is very difficult to say which team will win today's match. However, in the current group table, Al Hilal Saudi is leading in terms of points. Al Fateh is next in position with Al-fateh's group point 28 and Al Hilal Saudi's group point 33. If Al-fateh can win today's match, they will be ahead of the table.

messi, mbappe and haaland will find it difficult to compete with CR7 even though he is still at man utd because his skills and abilities have begun to decline due to age, so being in al nassr was his wisest decision

al shabab vs adalah is ended smoothly, and al adalah narrowly won 2-1, this defeat made Al Shabab have to settle for being ranked 3rd

Ronaldo left Real Madrid because of his high ego and his disagreement with Florentino Perez about a new contract for him and salary too. If he have not left Real Madrid, he would have gotten a few more seasons at top level and even can win one or two more Ballon d'Or. I felt Ronaldo satisfied with what Juventus fans shown when he scored a over-head goal against Juventus in Champions League. He did played well in Juventus too but after Ronaldo joined, it seems Juventus squad reached to their best and started to fall down in performance. It is their squad issue, not only because of Ronaldo.

A first season is rosy for Ronaldo but things changed quickly since the last summer. He wanted to leave and find a better club but he did not know that his body quickly changed to be worse like that. His performance in some matches for Manchester United and for Portugal in World Cup 2022 show that he is no longer a good player as he was just one season ago.

I think he made a smart choice. He knows he is no longer be able to compete with Messi and Mbappe, Haaland for Ballon d'Or. Leaving to Saudi to enjoy very high salary and avoid a feeling that he is a loser against those players. It's Ronaldo but he does not anything wrong. It's his career and he has full rights to choose what to do, where to play.

i agree with @el kaka22, i'm a fan of cristiano ronaldo, but i think the guy should have retired in real madrid, having left for juventus even helped juventus a lot in crucial moments of the games, but due to his age his skills of dribbling started to disappear, even at manchester united he avoided doing dribbles, they were not the center of attention when it came to scoring goals, at manchester united it was already starting to be visible that he is not being even 25% of what he was, no he was another great player, in the world cup we also saw how he couldn't score goals, he didn't take the ball and do dribbles

as if his age problem wasn't big, he moved to a country where they have a low quality league in terms of games, all because he still wanted to earn more money, and the Arabs need attention they paid an amount that would create attention , what I find very strange about all this is that these rich Arab guys are very smart, good business makers, they wouldn't be spending so much money on a player even knowing that he is no longer worth that much money, they would need to make sure that this player, in these low physical conditions it will have an impact on the team, so the team needs to win the games because if they lose, the fans will not be happy, so I think: is it possible that in this league there is no manipulation of the results of the games?

we can all see how the fans in that country behave when their team loses, they reach the low level of putting the player's shirt on the floor and spitting it out, and it's a horrible thing, is it really natural to give 14 extra minutes to the team of ronaldo, and just in 14 minutes they scored 3 goals?

Please what are you saying, this is a player that's 38 years old and still delivering when you check the overalls statistic. This guy just scored two hat trick back to back like it was nothing and projected his club to the top of the table. Him taking a break and not scoring in one or two games doesn't automatically make him a bad investment for the club besides Ronaldo coming to Al Nassr was more than him just been their striker. They needed him for other benefits which the club had received so far.

The clubs internal revenue had gone up by a far margin, fans are now interested in watching them play and rival clubs can't wait to play them as well knowing fully well both clubs will benefits from the ticket sales for the family. The guys is single handling building the clubs social presence etc. Please let's give him a break and it's not like he played badly in the game but I'll advise someone else to takes the freekicks from now henceforth unless he's the best man in the team for that.

An striker (like any other player on the field) cannot have a result of actions that are 100% effective. Purely according to statistics, games are obtained when these unsuccessful actions are "concentrated" in one game, I see no reason to make big news out of this and start another round of discussions whether Ronaldo is good or not. He has already proved everything to everyone, at the end of the season he will be the top scorer of the championship and that's enough.

The next match for Al Nassr is a decisive one as it's going to be against Al Ittihad, one of the competitors for the SPL title. The remarkable news about this match is that Al Ittihad  raised the cost of the ticket by ×5 the normal cost to benefit from Ronaldo's presence in their stadium. Although Ronaldo is available for this match, Al Ittihad has an advantage considering the last few matches, one of which was in the Super Cup a few weeks ago, when Ronaldo was among the lineup.

According to media reports, Ronaldo is still having a great time at his club in Saudi Arabia. Of course he can hardly tell if he is not having a good time, but he looks cheerful. I don't know if his family is having a good time, but he will be rich in any case. 200 million a year, that's more than half a million a day. People have to work long hours for that. And Ronaldo may also have been brought in to convince the world to host the World Cup in Saudi Arabia in a few years. But that's another discussion. They try to get more strong players there, money is not an issue. Culture is very different from Europe.

People are defending a striker as "not needing to score every match" is funny. I get it, this dude was seen as the best player ever up until last season, even at his age, he had hattrick in the premier league literally just last season around this time, only one year has passed and they just can't accept the fact that, Ronaldo ain't the big news he used to be.

This dude missed a wide open empty shot, he missed freekicks terribly, he missed in front of the goal with only gk to stop it, he missed so many chances to score in just one game and then his teammates had to bail him out at 90th+ minute in order to secure the win. I am sorry but if you are getting paid world record money as a striker, you DO need to score, otherwise that is a bad game, simple as that.

Sometimes when a top team plays against a team in the relegation zone, it is not uncommon for the results to be as surprising as in this match. Supposedly, Al Shabab can easily subvert its opponent. because, apart from playing at home, these two teams have a fairly large gap based on the standings ranking. Al Shabab is ranked 3rd, while Al Adalh is ranked 15th above Al Batin. but in fact, the home team slipped in this matchup. whereas previously, Al Shabab took the lead in the 20th minute. unfortunately, they were unable to hold on to their lead, until the opposing team put up a fight after falling behind and turned things around into a win for Al Adalh. it's a shame they have to lose full points in this match, so it's an advantage for Al Ittihad and Al Nassr to widen the gap in points on the standings board.

Yes after the second goal I suppose that the referee didn't feel very well about the additional time granted and thought ok for reasons of fairness I let this game go for another 3 minutes and then I can say it was all fair towards everyone.

I agree that for such an additional time to be added to regular time, there usually need to be major incidents like stuff being thrown onto the field by the fans or I don't know, but when the game must be suspended for a couple of minutes, then those additional times happen in other leagues as well. Just because there were more fouls than usual is often not a reason for a game to be extended like that.

But actually I would be a fan of a lot of additional time because I hate it when players who get fouled lie on the ground for three minutes holding their legs, thereby letting the clock run down in their favor. I would prefer how it is handled in ice hockey or basketball and I am sure we would see less acting than we are forced to see these days when someone gets fouled.

This result was really unbelievable Al Shabab lost points in that match, previously I think they are which should have won 3 points easy. Yes, now Al Shabab left behind from Al Ittihad and Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Adalh now their mentality will be improve after defeating the top team, in that match they made an epic comeback. Of course it looks like their chances to getting out of the relegation zone are open, because they have the same points with Khaleej FC, hopefully Al Batin can beat Khaleej in the upcoming match.

It seems to me that few leagues could add 16 minutes in principle at the end of a match and it is unclear why they did not stop the game after the second goal of Al-Nassr and played until the third? Very strange matches are certainly held in this league, but perhaps when Ronaldo came to this league matches like last match with Al-nassr will attract more attention and maybe it would be play more honestly, rather than that the game is played until Al-Nasr or another important team scores.

That is what we expect from Ronaldo - they didnot sign him to be a champion they signed him to have a big name coming to the club which brought fame and joy to the team - Saudia is a rich state and they are crazy for the football. They can go to any extreme to support the football.

Ronaldo's performance is not as bas as I thought it will be in the Saudi Arabia football,  he is playing a good role in the club despite his age.one thing fans needs to know is that Saudi Arabia management don't really care about Ronaldo's performance,  they did not sign him to come become a champion  for the club.

what happened in this game is not something normal, I could even agree and find it normal if the referee had given 3 additional minutes and within those 3 additional minutes cristiano ronaldo's team scored 1 goal and the game ended in a draw, that's the type a common situation in all soccer leagues, but what happened is something out of the ordinary and that can be seen as being a fixed game, the referee had no reason to give an additional 14 minutes, and cristiano ronaldo's team could not score at all minus 1 goal during the 90 minutes

and precisely in the 14 minutes given meaningless by the referee, cristiano ronaldo's team went to score 3 goals, honestly that seemed like a combined game, we'll see in the next games if there will be more scenarios similar to this one, this was a league that didn't have people's attention , but now it has people's attention, if they are used to manipulating games no doubt people will find out
